Rendezvous issues a challenge: Let's "bag" the title as most environmentally friendly ski town

Rendezvous, the master-planned resort community, has signed on as a sponsor of a voluntary effort to reduce the use of disposable plastic shopping bags in Grand County, as part of a competition between 27 mountain towns in Colorado, Utah, Idaho and Wyoming. During the Grand BYOB (Bring You Own Bag) Challenge, supermarkets and other retailers in Grand County will measure consumer's use of reusable canvas shopping bags. The challenge runs through Sept.1, when the town showing the highest use of recyclable bags will win a grant to install solar panels at a public school.
